Minneapolis rock legend, Mark Mallman has created a masterwork that turns the classic concept album on its head. The End Is Not The End was released March 25, 2016 on Polkadot Mayhem. In this age of cynicism, with too many people believing rock is dead, comes a sincere telling of an emotional trial we all must face at some point. Mark Mallman has created a 21st century Scary Monsters, except this time, the good guy wins.

Passion. Irony. Weirdness. Melody. These are some of the core elements of The Melismatics’ sound that has been developed over the past decade through intense recording, heavy touring, and an inhuman intake of caffeinated beverages. With six albums under their belt thus far, The Melismatics have been constantly evolving their own stylings of post-punk and indie-rock.

Saxophonist and Multi-Instrumentalist Nelson Devereaux (New Sound Underground, Courageous Endeavors, Hustle Rose), Producer Big Cats (Toki Wright and Big Cats, Homeless and Big Cats, Eric Mayson) and Drummer Miguel Hurtado (Courageous Endeavors, Murkury) bring audiences to their feet during exciting live performances that span the outer reaches of the galaxy and back to down home grooves. Best described as 'Space Jazz', the trio's collective musical knowledge informs each unique performance with an astounding amount of depth along with special appearances from other top-call Twin Cities musicians.

Katharine Seggerman (B.O.Y.F., Bae Tigre) leads this Minneapolis-based, feminist grunge-pop 4-piece of delectable hooks and emotional catharsis. With screaming guitar lines, some actual screaming, a punchy synth, and certified-BAMF bass, Lunch Duchess will get in your head and stay there. First single coming out in early 2016, with an EP slated for release in the summer.
